The company says its software is trusted by individual schools, districts, and governments and is used by thousands of institutions across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain.

The business emphasizes a user-first approach and scalable, compliant cloud architecture to simplify daily workflows for teachers, students, administrators, and parents. The company was founded in 2018 and is based in Koblenz, Germany, and currently employs around 230 people across several European countries.

Following its acquisition of FoxEducation, Sdui Group now serves 22,000 educational institutions; FoxEducation’s FoxApps (SchoolFox, KidsFox, TeamFox) were used by over 9,000 institutions in the DACH region. The company says it will invest part of the newly raised funds into the FoxEducation acquisition and to further develop its offerings, including payment management tools such as FoxPay. Financially, Sdui now has a total of €46M available for investment, combining the recent €21M round with a prior €25M Series A.

Founded in 2018 and based in Germany, the scale-up reported revenue growth of more than 300 percent since its initial Series A in March 2021. Management says the extended funding will support Sdui's ambitions to continue scaling in Europe and further develop its platform.
